川端康成 著、by Yasunari Kawabata
A beautifully written novel set in Kyoto, where traditional festivals, changing seasons, and historic streets create a quiet, atmospheric backdrop.
Chieko, raised as the daughter of a merchant family, meets a village girl during the Gion Festival who looks exactly like her. Drawn to each other, they discover they are twins—separated at birth and raised in completely different worlds. Though they feel a deep connection, the distance shaped by their lives cannot easily be overcome.
An elegant and timeless modern classic of Japanese literature by Yasunari Kawabata.
